The Software Publisher Certificate, and its public and private keys, stored in a Personal Information Exchange (.pfx) file. Code signing is an effective way to increase software sales by minimizing the risk associated with downloading files from the Internet. While not guaranteeing bug-free code, Authenticode identifies the publisher of signed software and verifies that it has not been tampered with before users download software to their PCs.

Skater .NET obfuscator includes function for digital signatures and code signing. It digitally signs files, verifies signatures in files, and time-stamps files.
To obtain a digital certificate purchase one from a certificate authority and save it to your computer. This method is recommended because it is easier to verify (and therefore trust) the authenticity of the certificate that you purchase. Next, use Microsoft Internet Explorer or any other browser to create a PFX file based on the certificate you purchased. Using Skater could not be easier for signing your obfuscated .NET assembly. Select your PFX file, set the PFX password if you protected your private key, then click Ok. All settings save in your obfuscation settings XML file. PFX Password only applies if you password protected your PFX file.
Skater signs your production .NET assembly just after it has been obfuscated.
